Reviews there are two types of people in the world: People who love bloody marys, and people who don't get them. People who arm their beach totes with airplane bottles of Uncle Smirnoff and a can of tomato juice to whip up a cocktail on a moment's notice, and people who don't get it.
The poke bloody mary at The Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas in Maui, Hawaii, gets it.
The much-beloved libation may have been born in New York — in 1934 by bartender Fernand Petiot at St.Regis' New York's King Cole Bar, or in the 1980s out of desperation for dealing with a toddler who refused to nap, if you ask my parents — but it melds pretty damn well with Hawaiian flavors.

As any bloody mary enthusiast knows, the true beauty of the bloody is its versatility. Think of your bloody as a blank canvas waiting to be trampled on with regional variations-- Wisconsinites love a hunk of pimento cheese and pickles to garnish; Manhattanites prefer their dainty blue cheese stuffed-olives with pickled everything but pickles; South Carolinians swear by a yellow heirloom tomato juice base. However you make it, consider this sturdy brunch staple your friend. Forget spoons and slurping, what could be better than a boozy gazpacho you can drink straight from a glass?
To transform this traditionally savory and piquant, peppery drink into island-worthy vibes, The Westin turns to a Hawaiian favorite, poke, to upgrade the classic recipe.
"The inspiration for the cocktails dates back to the plantation days when locals melded favorites from many cultures into a single, diverse melting pot," says Cy Gabourie, director of restaurants and bars at the resort.
Rimmed with Sriracha Hawaiian sea salt, each signature poke bloody mary is served with a small cup of house-made poke suspended from the rim of the glass and served with chopsticks. But if you can't make a quick jaunt to the resort yourself, you don't have to be so fancy when you whip a batch up yourself. Enjoy it with a fork and a beer shooter — you gotta wash down your meal somehow — in the comfort of your own home.
Whatever you do, don't call it "poké" (its oft mispronounced, much to local chef's dismay.)
